Great article! My favorite part is #2. So easy to grow up and just fall in to expectations – from your family, friends, and yourself. Traveling and letting go of all that baggage is the best feeling ever. Yes, then bring it back with you. That is growth!

In reply to Judy.

Judy, you bring up a good point — that even with short trips, it’s possible to experience and go through most/all of these things. One doesn’t need to be a long-term traveler, but it is good to remind oneself to take those breaks and go somewhere new — even if that means going across town to a completely different neighborhood, what matters is explore with traveler’s eyes, to put yourself in different situations and open yourself up to learning.

Very very true. I’ve been “stuck” in a career for a long time and it’s only recently that I started to realise that it’s changed me in ways that being a citizen of the world wouldn’t. It’s not all bad, but it does make you feel pigeonholed when you look back on it. Loved all of these 10 things and no matter how short my travels have been I have always felt a little bit of all.

Yes yes yes. Sometimes it is a good idea to change the status quo and let life meander and see where it takes you… And nothing better than some travel that helps you let go, to the charms of the world.

Brilliant. Am sharing this.

In reply to Ann Cee. Definitely understand this. It is very easy to get caught up in the planning and excitement...and even start planning the next trip when on the current trip. But slowing down and enjoying the moment makes the trip that much more meaningful. Good luck on your next trip!

Love this! Especially #5 because I spend so much time planning a trip, I almost forget to LIVE it once I’m there.

These are some great pieces of advice on how travel helps you let go. Traveling really does set you free and allows you to be yourself. Getting out of your “bubble” and exploring and learning about a new culture is a great way to grow. Traveling is also good for your health and is proven to improve a person’s long term health!

In reply to Gus. Thanks, Gus. It certainly is difficult to find a home for daily routine on the road. Having said that, a little bit of routine stretching, meditation, or reflection doesn't hurt. Actually helps to ground the experience.

Great article. Travelling gives you a sense of freedom. All the “let go” above could be summarized in: let go of daily routine. This is what a travel means. Experiences and adventure.
